One of the first games we bought when our 7 year old received her DS. Little reading involved. Lots of dishes to make. She enjoys this game.

I gave my 10 year old son this game and a DS for his birthday; it was the perfect starter game and the price was right (<$15). I learned later Cooking Mama 2 allows 2 players. I was concerned that the game might be just for girls, but it is not.

This is a very nice game for kids and my kids love it. Very fast shipping..

At first I was annoyed with this game because I wasn't making anything. I'm still not so good at making certain things in the game but in real life of course it's easier. This game is challenging and fun.
